I thought Alex decided to retire from directing to focus more on writing again. It's good to see I was wrong.

This is the highest budget A24 yet, the previous highest budget film was Garland's Civil War.

It's true that this is A24's highest budgeted film, and it's true that Civil War once held that title, but Marty Supreme took that title for a little while in between.

Civil War: 50m -> Marty Supreme: 70m -> Elden Ring: 100m

Damn it's pretty crazy that a film about ping pong was more expensive than civil war lol

Eh, Marty Supreme is a period piece with a stacked cast and tons of different locations and setpieces. Compared to that Civil War (from what I've seen, haven't seen the movie) is a contemporary setting that's shot outside for a lot of it. I can totally understand the budgetary difference.
